Cinnamon-Walnut Rolls with Mascarpone Frosting

I have some extremely happy news! Today my number of views hit over a 100 000!! This is crazy for me. It makes me exuberant and inspired and gives me a feeling that yessssss I should keep doing this! I don't blog in the sake of getting popular. I am doing it because I LOVE it. I love baking, cooking, sharing my successful recipes and taking pictures of them :) I am doing it for sheer joy. But getting positive feedback definitely gives me a boost of happiness and confidence at the same time. I mean, what's the point of sharing if nobody gets their share, right? So, I want to say thank you for reading my thoughts on cooking and baking. It means a lot to me, I still shriek in excitement if I get a comment :) Let alone how super happy it makes me when someone tries my recipe... I will be trying to post unique recipes, recipes I create because these are always so interesting! Right now, there are some recipes that were copycats (I tell you when I do that) but I also have many that were popped out of my head. So in the future, there will be more and more my own recipes. Hope you'll like it :)

But let's talk about these cinnamon rolls. I had this recipe since I was 15, I've used it several times so I thought why not celebrate my 100000th view with cinnamon rolls? So I dig for the recipe and found it in my old recipe notebook. Look how used it looks!

I didn't quite remember if I had any adjustments to the recipe, all I knew was that it was quick, easy and delicious! That sounds perfect, right? I thought so...

So I went ahead and realized oh-oh something's not right. The dough was way too sticky. But I was hesitant on adding more flour because I didn't remember if it was supposed to be this sticky or I just added more without noting it. So I pretty much tried to make it work without more flour until I got so frustrated that I almost gave up!

Fortunately, my mom came to rescue me and added some more flour. I will give you the already corrected recipe. Other than that, it was really quick, easy and delicious! You don't need to wait hours to let the dough rise because of the yeast, this recipe uses baking powder and soda! Okay, here you go!

Cinnamon-Walnut Rolls with Mascarpone Frosting

For the filling

1/3 cup or 80 grams butter, softened

1 cup or 205 grams brown sugar

3 and a half teaspoons cinnamon

1 cup toasted walnuts

For the rolls

2 and 3/4 cups cake flour

3 tablespoons sugar

1,5 teaspoon baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup or 115 grams butter

1 egg

2/3 cup milk

+1 egg

For the frosting

250 grams Mascarpone or Philadelphia cream cheese

60 grams powdered sugar

35 grams butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the filling, cream butter, brown sugar and cinnamon together and set it aside.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and soda and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter and mix it until crumbly. Whisk the egg and milk together and add it to the dry ingredients. Whirl to combine. Knead if necessary. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out.

Now spread the filling over. I used a little cocoa filling as well ( 1 tablespoon melted butter with 3 tablespoons sweetened cocoa).

If you'd like some chocolate rolls as I wanted, then spread it like above the picture.

When you spread the cinnamon-sugar on the dough, place the walnuts on top.

Roll it up and cut into 15-18 slices.

Glaze one whisked egg on top of the rolls.

Bake them for 15 minutes on 180C.

While you're waiting for the rolls to bake, let's make the frosting.

Cream the butter and the cream cheese together. Add in gradually the powdered sugar and vanilla.

When the rolls are ready and cooled down, frost them with the cream cheese frosting!

Thank you!!!!!! :) They taste reaaally good, even though the rolls made with yeast are slightly different as they keep soft longer but these are quick! Sarah , if you try it out, don't forget to let me know ;)Jesica, I agree, chocolate is unbeatable :D

Lisa, I'm really glad you liked them!! :) I stated the measurements both in cups and grams because I originally had the recipe in cups but I used metric so anyone can find whatever suits them better!MyFudo, thank you!! It makes me very happy it does!!

These look absolutely delicious! I love how you added the chocolate in the swirl and the mascarpone frosting sounds divine. I will have to try these next time we want cinnamon rolls in a jiffy, everyone hates waiting forever for the traditional ones to rise :)

Your cinnamon rolls are incredible! They look absolutely gooey and delicious... I have featured this post in today's Friday Food Fetish roundup. Let me know if you have any objections and thanks for the inspiration

Frankly, I missed baking so much! Even though I needed one baking-free month to lose all the weight I gained due to the excessive baking mania I got over this summer I just cannot stop it! So I decided that I don't have to give up this love of mine but I do have to figure out something that will not leave me end up gaining weight again. What to do, what to do...Bake only in the weekends! And probably I should get a grip and not stuff my face until I can't move...Which didn't really happen today. I ate like 6 of these lovely chocolate rolls...I guess, no dinner for Csilla tonight :P These rolls are from a traditional Hungarian pastry recipe. I called my Grandma to ask for the recipe and as it always happens with Grandma recipes she did not know the measurements...I don't know if it's only with my grandmas but they always work with their eyes so they usually have no idea how much grams I need from this or that... So I turned to an ancient Hungarian cookbook and that i…

We have different traditions in Hungary in the holiday season. Santa, I mean St Nicholas, comes on 6th December here and on Christmas Eve we are waiting for the little Jesus to bring our presents! Of course, as an almost 22-year-old I don't expect any gifts on Nicholas day...That is why I was so surprised when I got absolutely the coolest thing ever! A plastic bread-board! I had a huge wooden one that was very heavy, very hard to clean and needed such a big space. Look at this beauty :)

It has everything I might need. Measurements, unit converter, it can be rolled up, I don't need to use flour for kneading...I know exactly how big I need to knead the dough, it is perfect! So, of course I just had to try it out! :) I've been waiting for these cheese puffs' recipe for years now. It is a traditional, old school Hungarian pastry. It is made with yeast and it tastes amazing! These mini puffs are crunchy on the outside and super duper soft inside! This recipe is the ultimate c…

I wasn't gonna make a dessert today. Let alone something chocolatey. No no no! I wanted to have a dessert-free week. And look, I made chocolate cups! How did this happen?? Anyways... These cups are amazing. Seriously, finger-licking good. Not exaggerating. You need to make this!! I used to go crazy for Reese's but after a while I got so fed up with the excessive sweetness. Yeah, I find Reese's way too sweet and too dense. That's why I fell in love with these cups. These are not overly sweet, yet really rich and the salt on top takes it to the next level. I am in love. Although I did eat only a half of it. But I'm thinking hard to eat another half :) I might as well just do it. What's the harm? 1 pound on my hips? Oh well! :P So it all started with me buying a bag of almonds. To make almond butter. Then I wanted something extra so I started making coconut butter first and I kinda added more coconut than almonds... It's like raffaello butter. Utterly deliciou…
